The movers can't handle all your belongings when you PCS. Be sure to hand carry documents such as birth certificates, marriage license and medical records. ()

Picture this: You are PCSing from Washington to Hawaii. You arrive and start the eight crucial PCS check-in requirements for Hawaii only to find out you packed your title and registration paperwork with your HHG shipment! Now you are stuck waiting for up to two months to get your car out of the shipping lot. All that is standing in the way of you and your vehicle is a little piece of paper slowly sailing on the open ocean.

Add this to your PCS checklist! Donít let paper get in your way. Always hand carry the following documents.
